The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll

This is a podcast that was created to discuss the humongous tree of music known as Rock and Roll. There are thousands of branches. There is so much information out there with even more to be learned. Together, we are going to have fun talking about our passion, the Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll. Between Ray and Markus, we have 50+ years of rock and roll radio experience and a thirst to know more! With your input we want to begin to balance the imbalanced. We look forward to connecting and

2023/06/12

The two youngest of eight, Ray and Dave Davies became the 1960s symbol of #siblingrivalry in Rock & Roll! Our episode about that, and Dave's birthday twin was a fun first look at a band both Imbalanced Brothers love! Listen here! They'll dive into the story, the amazing music of The Kinks (and their unusual run of names at the start), and tell their own stories of loving this original British Invasion band! We may have missed one "key" tune in this episode. Can you guess what it is, and what movie

1967 & The Summer Of Love

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/05/29

Oh the times they were a-changin' alright by 1967! Something was in the air in the United States, and globally. In the U.S., it was a social/political/cultural shift, embraced mostly by young people at first. Social change was being fueled by racial tensions, and a break with the past by a new generation, who in many cases shared the politics and struggle of civil rights, as well as opposition to the Vietnam War. The epicenter of The Summer Of Love was San Francisco, but there were other cities that

The Bridge To The '90s!

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/05/22

Markus started with a Core 4: Living Colour, Faith No More, The Cult and Jane's Addiction, but he and Ray quickly found many other bands that fueled the need for The Bridge, and others who helped complete it, along with the arrival of the 1990s! It's a pivotal time in Rock History, as the AOR acts traditionally embraced by radio in The States, many of which had become bland and predictable, began to fade. In their place, a new breed; louder and more brash! The collective impact changed the sonic

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/05/15

This is Janis Joplin's story by way of our Imbalanced Brothers! It's told with affection, and a ton of the music. The tale of "little girl blue," and why her Blues were so sad.

Peter Gabriel: The Cycle

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/05/08

The idea for this episode came from a quote, now lost, even to Google apparently, that the first four Peter Gabriel solo albums are actually a large song cycle. In exploring possible sonic connections, researching and producing this episode, we discovered evidence of that being the case. Both within each of the self-titled albums, and between them... The individual moments within the songs on the individual albums may have drawn us there. It's those tangents that touch in the ether. The intangible

Dead Kennedys Kick Off Punk Rock Month 2023!!!

Markus and Ray look to change that this week for the kickoff of Punk Rock Month 2023! Their part in the San Francisco faction of WC Punk is clear, but we still found things to learn about DKs and the Boys share it all with you! There's tons to take in, and a bunch more to learn, as the boys did in their DKs adventure! We love our sponsors!!! Please visit
